Hoa Binh Province currently has over 870 hectares of tea plantations, with six districts having concentrated tea production areas that boast advantages in soil, climate, history, and distinctive tea varieties: Yen Thuy, Lac Thuy, Da Bac, Mai Chau, Tan Lac, and Luong Son.
The provincial agriculture sector has implemented the provincial People's Committee's plan for sustainable, multi-value tea development in Hoa Binh Province for the period 2024 - 2030. According to the plan, by 2030, the province aims to stabilize the total tea area at approximately 1,200 hectares, with a production target of 13.8 thousand tons. Of this, 80% will be produced in a cooperative and linked manner, ensuring traceability, food safety, and GAP standards; deeply processed tea products will account for 20%; and 100% of the area will be managed, assigned region codes, and have traceability as required for export.
The province also has guidelines on the scale of tea-growing areas and the processing and diversification of products. For the Shan tuyet tea area, Mai Chau district is planned to have an area of 200 - 250 hectares; Da Bac district about 100 hectares; and Tan Lac district 50 hectares. The green tea area in Yen Thuy and Lac Thuy districts is planned to have 400 - 500 hectares; Hoa Binh city and Luong Son district 250 - 300 hectares.
No success is easy, especially for a mountainous province like Hoa Binh, which still faces many difficulties. In the process of economic restructuring, the locality encounters various challenges, ranging from weak infrastructure, ineffective investment attraction, to barriers in awareness. However, it has taken effective solutions to overcome obstacles hindering economic development.
